Long lasting lipstick: love it or hate it?

Find the Perfect Long-Lasting Lipstick

Real women put them to the test so you don't have to

Looking for a lipstick that'll last through your holiday party (not to mention a few trips under the mistletoe)? Well, we've found some for you. TotalBeauty.com had readers try nine different lipsticks that claim to be long lasting in order to find out which ones will really stand the test of time. Check out the results here. See lipsticks

Oy this subject! I love a stain and use one on days where I am going to be working and going from one gig to another with no time in between to re-do my makeup. Thank goodness f or goodies like Benefit's Benetint and Skindinavia's Jet Set makeup setting spray to make it through the day.

Now, I've tried alot of brands of long lasting lipstick and I'm not a huge fan of one or the other because they always dry out my lips. Sure, the color is still there, but lip also looks likes like a brightly hued scab.

Click through on the beauty bubble and review the brands and as always, if you pick up a tube of something and hate it, you can always return or exchange as long as you have your receipt and the package it came in. Good luck!

Best brow technique and tools

Quick Fixes for Perfect Eyebrows

These expert tricks will help get you gorgeous arches at home

Few things can transform our faces more than eyebrows. It's critical not to overpluck, or pluck them into a bad shape. Doing your own brows can be a little intimidating at first, but with these tips from brow expert Kristie Streicher, from the Warren Tricomi Salons in Los Angeles and New York, you'll be a master plucker in no time. See tips

OK, call me a sicko: I love the dentist scraping and eyebrow plucking.
It may be a small niche of people, but these personal hygiene routines are rather pleasant to me and I look forward to it.
If you are intimidated by waxing or have been hurt by plucking, consider "threading" as done by a skilled Pakistani/Middle eastern woman. The technique originated in those parts and usually comes across the ocean with those that immigrate here.
I like a medium sized brow that can be shaped with powders and pencils or even covered with a wax so another shape can be drawn over it. But that's just me.
Enjoy today's beauty bubble and bravely go the way that most of us have at some time: pluck 'em!
